How tho Spai.roM Game.

The English sparrow's advent here
was very like the rabbit which Australia
is so anxious to get rid Of. a miller
caterpillar indigenous to this climate,
was found to he destroying the trees IN
the parks, besides being nuisance in
consequence of its propensity to hang
from the trees by q web-like thread.
Persons passing under the trees were
liable to have the crawling creatures
drop down their necks or upon their
clothes, and some remedy was sought to
rid New York of these pests. A for
eigner suggested the importation of q
few sparrows Seventy five pairs were
brought over from the Old World. and
the severe winter which followed killed
the birds. A second attempt was made.
and every one was asked to care for the
little creatures and build sparrow
houses This was done and the sparrows
were saved the next winter. The young
broods raised in the country were soon
able to take care of themselves 1t did
not take long for the acclimated for
eigners and their descendants to migrate,
and now they are found all over the
United States. Neso York Nal and E.,-

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Hands and Household Work.


Household work and neat hands arc
not lis incompatible as they seem. if every
means possible is used for the protection
Of the hands. will not say p: city hands,
ecause work must enlarge the joints,
thicker, and rs one grows older, mar
the shape: but with little trouble
working hand may be kept soft and
white, with regular, smooth nails. First,
there are rubber gauntlets, costing 4
moderate price. they can be worn
while washing dishes, busting and
sweeping. and in doing any work that
will not cut the rubber An old pair of
buckskin gloves, with plenty Of news
paper, will keep tho hands spotless in
trimming and cleaning lamps, and free
from the lampblack. SO permeating and
hard to remove.
In short, the rule must be Whatever
can be done with gloves, must never be-
done without them. When work is DONE
wash the hands in tepid water, pressing
the skin back at the base OF the nail with
the towel as you wipe them. Pour in the
palm few drops Of glycerine, rub we'll
together. and wipe dry. If sticky, pow
der lightly with starch, AT night
anoint we'll with glycerine, and sleep I'M
gloves, or powder thick with starch,
which will whiten. as sas prevent

Experiments are being made on Prus-
sian railways with axle boxes fitted with
bearings of vegetable parchment in place
of brass The parchment is strongly
compressed before being used, and it is
thoroughly dried to prevent subsequent
shrinkage. Wooden rings are placed on
the outside Of the bearings, fitting the
collars Of the journals. An emulsion Of
water and oil and all the mineral oils are
used as lubricants. The parchment soon
becomes impregnated with oil, and is
able to go along time without renewal

It is said, on the authority of ian
American railway engineer, that low
temperatures do not decrease the strength
of rails, as is commonly supposed,
although it is true that accidents are more
likely to occur from broken rails in cold
weather. This is because whenthe ground
Is frozen hard it loses its elasticity.
Something must yield when the train
runs over the road; It is the ground that
